Abstract

Since 1936, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) has been broadcasting to Canadians from coast to coast. Starting with radio and then expanding to television and digital platforms, the CBC has amassed a large collection of legacy media and is continuously producing more. Out of the desire to consolidate the archival and contemporary content, optimise current workflows and adapt to the shifting technological and media landscape, the media asset management (MAM) project was born. This paper outlines some of the many unique challenges and opportunities that were faced as the CBC implemented a MAM system while continuing to distribute news, current affairs and entertainment content to the Canadian public.
